atonement-part8-He tasted death
Hebrews 2:9
But we see JESUS, Who was made a little lower then the angels for the suffering of death, crowded with glory and honor: that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
This is the last edition of atonement and today's verse is vital! Without the suffering of our Lord JESUS CHRIST -none of us could be saved -Jesus was both GOD and man - He had to be both or He could not have died for us - His flesh was asking the Father if this cup He was about to drink could be passed away from Him - Jesus knew what the cost would be -and He was determined to pay the price in full - Jesus was made a little lower then the angles- He became a man of all things- a man who would suffer and die for our sins - but without God - this death would have meant nothing at all - JESUS had to be both man and God for this to take our sins away - He sacrificed Himself for our sins - The Creator for His creation - JESUS took our sins and nailed it to the cross and tasted death for us - now that this has happened Death has lost its sting - we no longer have to be afraid to die - for we know Heaven awaits - but still our flesh wants to live - we want to live here as long as we can because this is all we really know - however we have the promises of JESUS that we will one day be with HIM in paradise - lets remember the atoning death of JESUS - and what this means to us - we should forgive others more easily once we have seen what JESUS has done for us -lets worship the KING who died and was raised again to life- HE Lives so we can live! HE died so we don't have to face the second death! PRAISE THE LORD!
A SIDE NOTE:
WHEN ASKED HOW MUCH HE LOVED US - JESUS SAID THIS MUCH AND STRETCHED OUT HIS HANDS AND DIED . . .
NEXT UP -GRACE . . . .
in CHRIST though we die - we live!
